Sodium Sulfate - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Page 1 of 7 Sodium sulfate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 7 Sodium sulfate From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Sodium sulfate is the sodium salt of Sodium sulfate sulfuric acid. When anhydrous, it is a white crystalline solid of formula Na2SO4 known as the mineral thenardite; the decahydrate Na2SO4·10H2O has been known as Glauber's salt or, historically, sal mirabilis since the 17th century. Another Other names solid is the heptahydrate, which transforms Thenardite (mineral) to mirabilite when cooled.

Aqueous solutions can http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_sulfate 06/07/2011 Sodium sulfate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 3 of 7 produce precipitates when combined with salts of Ba2+ or Pb2+, which form insoluble sulfates Na2SO4(aq) + BaCl2(aq) → 2 NaCl(aq) + BaSO4(s) Sodium sulfate has unusual solubility characteristics in water.[7] Its solubility in water rises more than tenfold between 0 °C to 32.384 ° C, where it reaches a maximum of 497 g/L. At this point the solubility curve changes slope, and the solubility becomes almost independent of temperature. This temperature at 32.384 °C, corresponding to the release of crystal water and melting of the hydrated salt, serves as an accurate temperature reference for thermometer calibration. Sodium sulfate decahydrate is also unusual among hydrated salts in having a measureable residual entropy (entropy at absolute zero) of 6.32 J·K−1·mol−1. This is ascribed to its ability to distribute water much more rapidly compared to most hydrates.[8] Sodium sulfate displays a moderate tendency to form double salts. The only alums formed with common trivalent metals are NaAl(SO4)2 (unstable above 39 °C) and NaCr(SO4)2, in contrast to potassium sulfate and ammonium sulfate which form many stable alums.[9] Double salts with some other alkali metal sulfates are known, including Na2SO4·3K2SO4 which occurs naturally as the mineral glaserite. Formation of glaserite by reaction of sodium sulfate with potassium chloride has been used as the basis of a method for producing potassium sulfate, a fertiliser.[10] Other double salts [11] include 3Na2SO4·CaSO4, 3Na2SO4·MgSO4 (vanthoffite) and NaF·Na2SO4. Production The world production of sodium sulfate, mostly in the form of the decahydrate amounts to approximately 5.5 to 6 million tonnes annually (Mt/a). In 1985, production was 4.5 Mt/a, half from natural sources, and half from chemical production. After 2000, at a stable level until 2006, natural production had increased to 4 Mt/a, and chemical production decreased to 1.5 to 2 Mt/a, with a total of 5.5 to 6 Mt/a.[12][13][14][15] For all applications, naturally produced and chemically produced sodium sulfate are practically interchangeable. Natural sources Two thirds of the world's production of the decahydrate (Glauber's salt) is from the natural mineral form mirabilite, for example as found in lake beds in southern Saskatchewan. In 1990, Mexico and Spain were the world's main producers of natural sodium sulfate (each around 500,000 tonnes), with Russia, US and Canada around 350,000 tonnes each.[13] Natural resources are estimated as over 1 billion tonnes.[12][13] Major producers of 200,000–1,500,000 tonnes/a in 2006 include Searles Valley Minerals (California, US), Airborne Industrial Minerals (Saskatchewan, Canada), Química del Rey (Coahuila, Mexico), Criaderos Minerales Y Derivados and Minera de Santa Marta, also known as Grupo Crimidesa (Burgos, Spain), FMC Foret (Toledo, Spain), Sulquisa (Madrid, Spain), and in China Chengdu http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_sulfate 06/07/2011 Sodium sulfate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 4 of 7 Sanlian Tianquan Chemical (Sichuan), Hongze Yinzhu Chemical Group (Jiangsu), Nafine Chemical Industry Group (Shanxi), and Sichuan Province Chuanmei Mirabilite (Sichuan), and Kuchuksulphat JSC (Altai Krai, Siberia, Russia).[12][14] Anhydrous sodium sulfate occurs in arid environments as the mineral thenardite. It slowly turns to mirabilite in damp air. Sodium sulfate is also found as glauberite, a calcium sodium sulfate mineral. Both minerals are less common than mirabilite. Chemical industry About one third of the world's sodium sulfate is produced as by-product of other processes in chemical industry. Most of this production is chemically inherent to the primary process, and only marginally economical. By effort of the industry, therefore, sodium sulfate production as by-product is declining. The most important chemical sodium sulfate production is during hydrochloric acid production, either from sodium chloride (salt) and sulfuric acid, in the Mannheim process, or from sulfur dioxide in the Hargreaves process.[16][17] The resulting sodium sulfate from these processes are known as salt cake. Mannheim: 2 NaCl + H2SO4 → 2 HCl + Na2SO4 Hargreaves: 4 NaCl + 2 SO2 + O2 + 2 H2O → 4 HCl + 2 Na2SO4 The second major production of sodium sulfate are the processes where surplus sulfuric acid is neutralised by sodium hydroxide, as applied on a large scale in the production of rayon. This method is also a regularly applied and convenient laboratory preparation. 2 NaOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → Na2SO4(aq) + 2 H2O(l) Formerly, sodium sulfate was also a by-product of the manufacture of sodium dichromate, where sulfuric acid is added to sodium chromate solution forming sodium dichromate, or subsequently chromic acid. Alternatively, sodium sulfate is or was formed in the production of lithium

  • 4. Other Data Relevant to an Evaluation of Carcinogenicity and Its Mechanisms
    4. Other Data Relevant to an Evaluation of Carcinogenicity and its Mechanisms 4.1 Absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion of radionuclides The most important routes of intake of radionuclides are by inhalation and ingestion, for both workers and members of the public. Ingestion is a less important route for workers, but a proportion of inhaled material is escalated from the trachea and lungs and swallowed. Entry through contaminated wounds may also occur in certain industrial situations. Entry through intact skin is rare, although exposure to 3 H2O vapour can lead to appreciable doses by this route. Entry of radionuclides into the body by inhalation and ingestion leads to irradiation of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts. Entry through contaminated wounds also results in local irradiation of tissues. After intake by any route, the subsequent behaviour of the radionuclide depends on the element concerned and its chemical form during exposure. These factors determine its solubility and the extent to which it is dissolved and absorbed into the blood. On reaching the blood, the distri- bution to and retention in body tissues depend on the chemical nature of the element. If a radionuclide that enters the bloodstream is an isotope of an element that is normally present (e.g. sodium, potassium, chlorine), it will behave like the stable element. If it has similar chemical properties to an element normally present, it will tend to follow the metabolic pathways of that element (e.g. 90Sr and 226Ra behave similarly to calcium and 137Cs and 86Rb similarly to potassium), although the rate of transfer between the various compartments in the body may be different.

Abt Associates Report Title Insert Date ▌1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Executive Summary EPA is releasing an updated version of the SPECIATE database, SPECIATE 5.1, about a year after the release of SPECIATE 5.0. In lieu of full documentation, this document provides highlights of the revisions to SPECIATE 5.0. Full documentation of the SPECIATE program can be found in the SPECIATE documentation section of EPA’s air emissions modeling website. SPECIATE is the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) repository of speciation profiles of air pollution sources that provide the species makeup or composition of organic gas, particulate matter (PM) and other pollutants emitted from these sources. Some of the many uses of these source profiles include: (1) creating speciated emissions inventories for regional haze, PM, greenhouse gas (GHG), and photochemical air quality modeling; (2) adding PM species in the EPA’s National Emissions Inventory (NEI); (3) developing black carbon assessments and particulate carbonaceous inventories; (4) estimating air toxic pollutant emissions from PM and organic gas primary emissions; (5) providing input to chemical mass balance (CMB) receptor models; and, (6) verifying profiles derived from ambient measurements by multivariate receptor models (e.g., factor analysis and positive matrix factorization).

    技 術 報 告 Technical Report Jpn. J. Hosp. Pharm. 技 術 報 告 〔19(1)99-105(1993) 〕 Simultaneous Determination of Inorganic Cations in Cardioplegic Solution by Photometric Ion Chromatography ― A. Comparison with Autoanalyzer Method NOBUMASA HAYASE*† 1, SHIGETAKA AKUTSU† 1, SHUN- ICHIINAGAKI† 1, and HIROMICHI HOSOKAWA† 2 Departmemt of Hospital Pharmacy† 1 and Clinical Laboratories† 2, Asahikawa Medical College Hospital Received June 20, 1992 (Accepted September 30, 1992 ) A simultaneous determination of four inorganic cations in cardioplegic solution was examined by in- direct photometric ion chromatography (PIC). Cardioplegic solution was diluted 100-fold with 2.5mM copper sulfate aqueous solution, treated with SEP-PEK C18and ACCELL PLUS QMA cartridges, and then injected into the chromatograph. Large amounts of sodium, potassium and magnesium and small amount of calcium were separated on a Zorbax SCX-300 column with 2.5mM copper sulfate solution as an eluent, and detected as negative absorption peaks by an ultraviolet (UV) photometric detector at 230 nm. Straight calibration curves for the cations were obtained from 0.05 to 1.5mM by using a peak height ratio method. The reproducibility of the data was good enough. When cardioplegic solution was diluted 4- fold with the eluent, the determination of calcium in sample solutions was sufficiently good, in spite of over-loadings of the other cations on column. The results obtained by the PIC method were more accurate than those of the autoanalyzer method. Keywords- cardioplegic solution; inorganic cations; photometric ion chromatography; simultaneous determination; autoanalyzer Introduction Cardioplegic solution has been developed for clinical use of myocardial protection during aortic cross- clamping in the field of cardiac surgery 1).
